same room to do one final "sound check" for the big day tomorrow.
Look at the setup. Paperless now. And notice the logo on the
laptops? And how perfectly aligned they were. It was by accident.
(Steve should be proud!) That was an IP phone BTW, we used it as a
hub for our WWW access to do the work needed. I didn't even bother
using the "access" granted to us. This was faster and easier. We
were up and running in 5 minutes compared to the frustrated 45 minutes
from last week's test run.
As the sun was setting, by 5:15pm it was getting dark. Light switch.
No, nothing on the way. Ask the receptionist, she was "smart ass"
type responded, it's automatic as you enter the room. Right we HAVE
been in the room for bloody 3 hours plus! the light didn't even turn
on! She came in to the office with me looking for a light switch. 5
minutes later, she came back in. Response: I can't find a light
switch. Don't know how to turn it on. You can use another meeting
room. What kind of a respond was that! And the entire floor, there
were two rooms setup used for meetings, the rest were just empty
shells. What a waste of space. Or maybe just had to take the whole
space but don't know what to do with it. So we worked to the dim
light, dimmer and dimmer NOT dumb and dumber. I brought everything I
could think of to eliminate unknown from the technical side, tomorrow
I must bring my OWN torch to work! Ridiculous.
One thing one must learn, in this part of the world in particular in
MY land of resident seeing should not be believing. What you see is
NOT what you get.
